Keeping Love Alive

Through the Signs

By Amy E. Ellis

ARIES
Rams rush in where angels fear to tread, especially in sex and romance. Their brave exploits and outrageous antics can scare a mate or sweetheart away. A little chase, a lively debate and a good challenge will motivate this daredevil lover to pursue you like there's no tomorrow.

For Aries sake and your own, be slow, steady and cautious. And remind Aries that there is a time and a place for everything. Tell them they don't have to be everything and everywhere at once. And play up your facial features. Play up your beautiful eyes, luscious lips and silky hair when in the company of the Ram. They won't ever leave your side, provided you play by his or her rules.

TAURUS
Keep any jealousy (if you're the jealous type) under control. However, Taurus appreciates a little possessiveness as long as it's flattering and not overly dramatic. Emotional public dramas are another big turn-off and will have your sexy Taurus seeking someone new, fast!

The more space, privacy and loyalty you extend to Taurus, the more likely your relationship will last. And never forget birthdays, romantic (candles, music and flowers) dinners and your very first date. If you want to keep your Bull forever: Turn the phone off, choose a romantic and secluded setting where you won't be disturbed, since Taurus tends to be a very vocal lover. And don't ever rush Taurus, period! Enjoy a slow and delicious encounter. It could last forever!

GEMINI
Always be on the go, keep up appearances and be an "equal" combination of "book and street" smarts with Gemini. This sign needs a versatile lover. Someone who will grant Gemini the freedom do what he or she pleases.

Geminis feel most comfortable while in the company of groups, parties and large gatherings. To keep your Gemini interested: Mix your relationship up! Mix and mingle with other couples and try to create a loving home environment. Gemini will love coming home to you after all that socializing!

Remind Gemini that you also need occasional time with them, so plan some surprise evenings filled with entertainment, intimate conversation and special surprises. Have a weekend for just the two of you and by all means wear something especially sexy and provocative. Your friends will understand. Show Gemini the true meaning of the word balance and chances are good that he or she will conclude you're a "keeper".

CANCER
Cancer does everything in his or her power to make the relationship (with you) everything you want it to be and think it "should" be. Big mistake, Cancer! Remember that relationships are for two, not one. Avoid being domineering, apathetic and overly emotional.

Involve Cancer in all important decisions that affect you as a couple. Cancer will adore you provided you remain consistent, loyal and honest. Cancer has a reputation as a man/woman of mystery. To keep this sign happy: Keep the home fires burning and never let them forget how sexy and smart they really are!

Ready to commit to Cancer: Take them near water (moonlight beach, bubble bath, Jacuzzi etc.), wine and dine them, be old fashioned about romance and serve them breakfast in bed. It's the little things that matter most to Cancer. Cancer is looking for someone who loves the idea of a secure, committed and comfortable home life.

LEO
Leo is a fixed sign and resists change (ending toxic relationships) because they assume their way is the right way, for now anyway. Leo needs to understand the value of his or her partners ideas, comments and suggestions. Remind Leo that a relationship is not for one person.

Be stylish and sexy, and having a great sense of humor won't hurt. Leo will stay with a partner who is clever in business and has innovative ideas. And remember: You can never give too much attention or too many compliments to sexy Leo.

Leo also loves their lover to dress for success, sex or whatever the mood calls for. Keeping up appearances is important for this sign. It shows them how much you care. If you find yourself having problems with the Lion, try to be more adaptable and understanding.

VIRGO
You are naturally practical and grounded. This helps anyone involved with you to feel secure. Yet, there can be moments when love is anything but practical. Virgo must learn to throw "caution to the wind" once in a while and be daring and fearless with their love, because this fuels their inner need for adventure. The right partner will share many things in common with a Virgo.

Let Virgo help you improve your life: quit a bad habit, cultivate an interesting hobby, learn foreign language or read erotic books. This sign is really looking for someone to "make over". And it won't hurt if you understand that beneath that cool exterior, there is a hot fantasy life just waiting to be unleashed. BOTTOM LINE: Look for the hot fantasy beneath that cool surface and fulfill it, now!

LIBRA
Decisiveness is not your strong point, Libra. You can be a pain in the you know what for a partner who loves you madly and most deeply when you endlessly weigh the pros and cons of every little detail of your relationship. When a decision in necessary, especially one that affects your love life, make a deadline and please stick with it.

It's a good idea for your lover to be strong, attractive, and decisive. If looking to keep Libra forever: Set a sensual and romantic scene, know exactly what you want and allow Libra to provide it for you.

DOES LIBRA LOVE ME? It will be a test of Libras regard for you by asking subtle questions. If they REQUEST your company and they display a SINCERE interest in your day, you can pretty much rest assured that Libra does love you (and could be "the one" for you!)

SCORPIO
Mastering his or her chosen field, than helping others do the same, is a major personal goal for all Scorpios. Ruled by Pluto (planet of transformation), it's easy to see why these mysterious lovers seek a specific type of lover.

Seducing a Scorpio is a power game. Scorpio likes to be in control- even the quiet, unassuming ones. Scorpio also loves a good mystery, so don't tell them everything. The best way to love and be loved by Scorpio is to keep him or her guessing about you, offering subtle but sincere hints along the way.

Scorpio can see through deception quite easily, especially in sex, love and relationships. Let them know they are the man or woman of your dreams and mean it. Be sincere, loyal and interesting in order to convince Scorpio that you are a "keeper".

SPECIAL TIP FOR SCORPIO: Your lover will adore you when they sense you're thinking as two (you as a couple) as opposed to one (just you). Show that you are capable of being vulnerable with a partner.

SAGITTARIUS
In general, Sagittarius (not all of course) men and women are considered to be the "Players of the zodiac". One dating Sagittarius will find it most challenging and endlessly difficult to try and them pin down. Be aware they are known for being the "love them and leave them" types.

A smart and talented sign, Sagittarius are most interested in lovers from ethnic backgrounds, lovers met in spiritual pursuits or at related groups of interest. This sign will be your "personal cheering section" if you can capture the elusive Sagittarius heart.

Sagittarius often fuses humor and sarcasm as a defense mechanism. But you can't laugh off everything, especially love, sex and commitment, Sagittarius. This sign must learn to live by a new set of rules when involved with a partner (you).

IF YOU'RE THAT INTERESTED: Let Sagittarius know that he or she has inspired you to "be all you can be". Then the two of you should work out, have sex, feed the animals and discuss you future vacation plans together.

CAPRICORN
Capricorns tend to think of love and sex as part of a game plan for the future. You don't mean to boss and nudge your partner, but you can end up doing a good job at acting out unconsciously if you are an unhappy Goat. Remember Capricorn: Your partners point of view is just as valid as your own. Try not to forget this or be or prepared to pay the price.

GET CAPRICORNS ATTENTION: Your seduction strategy is to join them in their many pursuits, then hook them with love on the road. This is a sign that mixes business with pleasure. And they will let you know quickly if there is a mutual attraction between you two.

Convince Capricorn that you are an asset to his or her life. Work out together and remember the "couple who plays together stays together".

TIP FOR CAPRICORN MEN AND WOMEN: Realize that your partner isn't always going to be 100% perfect.

AQUARIUS
Bright and talented Aquarians often live as though they have their "head in the clouds" and their minds seem to be forever drifting. Aquarius rules "different" things and the far out and eccentric lifestyle will appeal to this signs versatile nature. They are most attracted to these types of lovers. It will be a clear test of his or her devotion for you. The key will be if he or she displays a sincere interest in your day, your passions and most of all you (the good, the bad, and the ugly).

Passion begins in the mind, so a good conversation is a great start. Aquarius is an inventive sign that believes love is an "ultimate playground" without rules.

Find ways to make love transcendental, a mind blowing and unique experience. Plan surprises, unpredictable encounters in unusual or "out of the way" places. Be ready to try anything (food, sex, travel, movies or perhaps a sexy trick for the bedroom only) at least once and you will have met a lover for life.

KEEP AQUARIUS HOOKED: Be the opposite of a possessive personality type. Have tolerance for people of all ages, race and colors. Admire people for who they are and don't publicly criticize anyone. Try anything once to show your devotion to Aquarius. And give them space when they need it.

PISCES
Pisces take a spiritual, soulful and very serious approach to their love relationships. Shared goals, strong chemistry and compatible values will be a powerful way of cementing a loving bond with Pisces.

Pisces is the sign of fantasy and imagination. Pisces looks for lovers who will take care of them. And the attentive Pisces lover will return the favor and then some. Expect to be spoiled rotten by attentive, mysterious and romantic Pisces.

Pisces is a dreamy soul-mate who can "psych out" your deepest desires without even mentioning them. Talk about intuition! This sweet and most sensitive spirit can read your thoughts, mind and pick up instinctively on your creative capabilities.

Use your imagination for setting the ultimate ambiance for love. A dramatic and creative presentation will bring out the sensual, tender and appreciative side of your tender Pisces lover. Don't let Pisces swim away!

One last tip to remember about Pisces: Pisces will fall for just about any sad story or tragic event. It wouldn't hurt if you had a personal trauma, or small problem for Pisces to fix.

If expressed properly, this sign will tend to let you cry on his or her shoulder. Remember that Pisces needs to be needed. Giving Pisces the best that you've got tends to keep this rather elusive and mysterious sign hopelessly optimistic and eager to commit to you.
